“Of course, Mother!” Mandy White exclaimed. “Why! Science and Maths are my most favourite subjects. I really am excited to get started on my homework!” She said, with an apprehensive nod of agreement, flashing a rather watery smile on her face. Mrs. White beamed.
“And while you’re at it dear, I’ll be in the kitchen. My, my, what a lot of dishes I have to do!”
As soon as Mrs. White was safely out of sight, Mandy put out her tongue and frowned, her nose wrinkled with disgust. Why on earth did her mum have to give endless lectures about these boring subjects and explain ways to develop her skills every alternative day, in her own discursive style? She seemed to think that by bragging about difficult mathematical terms, Science words and poems would help Mandy gain a comprehensive knowledge.
Right after another exhaustive day at Oak Tree Primary School too, where the teachers made you write until your hand fell off, made you run until your legs gave out and learn the hard meanings of words such as ‘Alliterative’. Mandy let out a sigh of irritation as she sulked moodily all the way upstairs to her room.
Mrs. White wasn’t the best mother at times, nagging her to learn the derivatives of words, when she desperately needed to send an email to her friends. Mandy felt her mother was terribly corrective of simple matters.
Mandy sprawled over her bedroom carpet; yawning and feeling her eyes snap shut. She could just convince her mum by dramatically clutching her head and tell her very sweetly that she had a throbbing headache but she simply didn’t want to be a trouble.
Mrs. White came barging through the door, and gasped at Mandy’s laziness.
“Just WHAT do you think your doing?” Demanded Mrs. White in an explosive state, suddenly going all investigative.
“Where is your maths homework, then? Just you wait till Daddy gets home and you’ll be in for it!"
